Question - does he feel like shit before covering the carbs with the
insulin? I know there are times I eat too many carbs and feel crappy
and I'm not diabetic. When I think about it, I try to remember how I
just don't feel good and not do it again. Today was a good example, I
brought my leftover fried rice for lunch today after having it for
dinner last night. I felt like crap all afternoon.
